'Paint like an artist’ from Sketch to canvas – Thursday 11th May

Thursday 11th May, 10am – 4pm, £85 per person

Learn the artist’s habit of creating art on paper for daily practice, for pleasure and to develop ideas for paintings.

Discover how to create mixed media sketches which can be developed into a series of exciting paintings. Fed up with not achieving what you want with your paintings? Using my artist’s process you will take away the pressure and enjoy pushing your ideas further, simplifying and developing your initial ideas to produce something to be proud of. 

Learn to quickly put down your ideas in a sketchbook and recreate the memories on canvas when you return home. Discover how to simplify your colour mixing, use expressive brushmarks and create exciting new compositions. Create several studies on paper and a finished painting; a gestural seacape, harbour scene or holiday memories of your choice, using acrylics. Beginners and more advanced painters will find this an exciting way to paint. 

Venue: The Fancy Loft, Farnham Pottery, Wrecclesham, Farnham GU10 4ND Please note, there is no wheelchair access and a small flight of stairs to access the loft.
